Happy New Year!
January 2018
M F F
“One thing I do: Forge ng what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the
prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13‐14
Happy New Year! I hope and pray that 2018 is a wonderful and powerful year for everyone! 2017 is now over. In it were some wonderful things and some difficult things, and I am posi ve that this coming year will be the same. But whatever season we may find ourselves, one thing is sure, nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus and we can rejoice because of that! As we begin this New Year, I want to encourage everyone to connect with one another in our Life Together Groups we are offering. These groups are designed to help each person grow and move forward in our journey of being and making disciples, and/or being followers of Jesus. The model of the early church is that people would meet for large group worship and then also in homes for small group fellowship, learning and support (see Acts 2:42). It’s always been the best way to grow and move forward. This month we begin a new sermon series called “Faith and Life,” where we will take on some important topics that we all face and how our faith forms the way we approach them. Topics like: Rela onships, Integ-rity in the Workplace, Government, Helping Those in Need, and ques ons
— 2 —
like, “Why is there suffering?” are just some of the topics we will dive into. Each week we will preach on that topic on Sunday morning and then offer a simple discussion me for groups mee ng in homes during the week to take that topic deeper. These Life Together groups are great plac‐es to get to know others, invite friends and people who are not connected with our church yet, find encouragement and prayer support, deepen your faith in real life issues, and also a means to use your gi s to serve others. If you haven’t connected in a Life Together Group yet, you can get signed up now! You can contact me at pastormark@ctk .org or talk to Amy Nix or Hal Johnson who are pu ng these groups together. If you would like to offer your home as a mee ng place or would like to help facilitate the conversa ons at these groups, we will be having an orienta on mee ng on Sunday, January 14th at 12:00 noon in the Fire‐side room for more informa on. I can’t wait to see what God is going to do in our church as we put into prac ce what it means to truly be and make disciples of Jesus. If you have any ques ons, please give me a call or send me an email. May God bless the ministry of Christ The King as we move into 2018! Happy New Year! Pastor Mark

The Apostles’ Creed
(by Ma Chandler) This is a new women's bible study which will start on Tuesday, January 9th at 10:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall. We o en for-get that Chris anity not only covers the globe, it spans two-thousand years. The Apostles’ Creed is almost as old, yet it’s s ll as relevant today as it was when it was wri en. The Creed has summarized the gospel and the founda on of our faith for
genera ons. And today, understanding the Creed can help us build our lives on good theology, clearly communicate what we believe, and give us a pro-found sense of belonging in the kingdom of God. Sign up for this class online at: ctk .org/connect/small-groups.

New Year Blessings to You and Yours!
What a wonderful gi and big surprise the blue bags of food were to our friends at Sharing the Table! The school district had can-celled the lunch due to the fires, yet the school s ll sent the “all-call” out to the families! That was a blessing for us. We had collected 50 large bags, heaping with food, by Saturday and handed out 33 bags. A few more heaping bags trickled in during the week and we distributed the remain-der of the bags to our God’s Bounty student helpers at Vallecitos School. They were thrilled to receive not only the extra, delicious food…but also our CTK bag! We cannot thank you enough for all your generosity, love and though ulness. Two weeks without a school lunch program some mes feels like an eternity when you’re trying to feed your children. Thank you for all your help. Remember…the Lord loves a cheerful giver! Sharing the Table begins again on Saturday, January 13th. God’s Bounty is always the 3rd Friday of every school month. If you would like to join us in either or both of these ministries, you can sign up in the Narthex (church lobby). We would love to have you! Contact: Barbara McLean, [email protected]

Volunteers Needed on the 3rd Tuesday
of the month!
Brother Benno’s was started by Harold and Kay Kutler as a Soup Kitchen in downtown Oceanside. They named it a er Brother Benno Garri-ty, a Benedic ne monk who was well known for his reless service to the poor in the Oceanside area. The first meal was served on October 21st, 1983; and Brother Benno himself made a big cauldron of soup at his abbey and brought it to the li le house that bore his name. For the first few years, those who came to the Kitchen were mainly street people. Now most of our guests are the working poor (parents and children who struggle on a daily basis for their most basic needs), the dis‐abled, and low‐income senior ci zens. In order to provide these needs, Brother Benno’s has expanded its services beyond food. In 1991, the Brother Benno Founda on moved its services to its
present loca on, a 12,000-square foot warehouse at 3260 Produc on Ave-
nue in Oceanside, which has been divided into a dining room, full kitchen,
children’s reading room, administra ve offices, shower room, clothing
room, computer lab, chapel, restrooms, and warehouse space.
If you would like to be a part of this ministry, please contact John
Ma son, jnbma [email protected].
Volunteers are the heart and soul of Brother Benno’s.

Times have been very difficult in our small rural community, but the kindness of strangers has allowed us to keep our heads high and our
hearts filled with joy. In the words of John F. Kennedy, “As we express our gra tude, we must never forget that the highest apprecia on is not to
u er words, but to live by them.” It is my hope that the strong people of Refugio remember the acts of kindness sent to us from Christ The King Church in Fallbrook, and that we will be able to pass on such
kindness in the future. Please keep all of us in your prayers. Sincerely, Heidi Gillespie
Refugio Independent School District Counselor Refugio, Texas
